In section c.14 of the XHTML 1.0 page at
[http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines], they give an example where the id
attribute is used in the style tag. However, the following code of mine did
not validate:

    <style type="text/css" id="internalStyle">
      <![CDATA[
               ]]>
    </style>

because of the following error:

    *  Line 20, column 30:

      <style type="text/css" id="internalStyle">
                                ^

      Error: there is no attribute "id" for this element (in this HTML
version)

Sorry, this document does not validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict.

I also tried it with the other two XHTML 1.0 DTDs.
